Al Bawaba, the Middle East focused website has announced the launch of their new web based media player which is the first of its kind in the region. The player is loaded with a huge web based library of Arabic and English language songs and videos to satisfy the taste of millions of users.


Poised to be the first fully online based player with perks to satisfy music enthusiasts, the player is  easy to use and does not require any additional hardware or software. All a person has to do is log on to http://music.albawaba.com/ click on the song or video to automatically launch the player and start streaming the music directly from  the internet eliminating the need to store the files on their computer.

Mr Hani Jabsheh, Al Bawaba’s Director, commented: “We are very excited with the launch of our new media player and fully committed to developing innovative media and improving online services as a whole across the region. The player is really very easy to use and above all plays thousand of music files, video or audio, for free.”
The player is a flash based web application that behaves like a desktop application employing no less than four technologies, JavaScript, XML, PHP and ActionScript. Key features include the ability to store up to an amazing 100 play lists online containing up to 35 songs each.

Launched this week the Player has already attracted a good deal of attention as the number of sessions has increased by 10% and is anticipated to become hugely popular across the region. “In fact the global media auditor BPA Worldwide audit reveals that Al Bawaba is the no.1 highest trafficked audited website in the Middle East and we are very proud of our achievements to date. With over one million downloads in May, we are expecting a total increase of 25% in June as more and more Al Bawaba users experiment with the new player.” Jabsheh added.
